Governor FitZhugh Lee has deemed it
expedient to deny that he is an aspirant
for or that he expects a tender of second
place on the national Democratic ticket
next year. 1t seems the trip the Gov
arnor made to the northwest not long
ago, when he spoke at St. Paul, Duluth
and other places was made the ground
for considerable amount Of idle gossip
respecting his aspirations and intentions.
To put these rumors to rest the Governor
says fatty that his visit was q matter of
business, made at the solicitation Of
Richmond capitalists, and had no polit-
significance whatever. He was received
kindly and courteously in the northwest,
and in his speeches endeavored to bring
about more cordial feeling between the
sections. He adds, however, that in his
opinion the nomination of 8 southern
man for the vice-presidency would
help to heal the sores Of sec
tional strife and show to the world
that this is indeed & reunited country. It
will occur to great many people that it
is about time to demonstrate this fact for
the satisfaction and information of this
country, not to mention the outside
world. 1t is over twenty years since the
war closed, and the rehabilitation of the
Union is complete. Ex-rebeIs (as the
Republicans call them) are members of
the Cabinet and both branches of Con-
gressi they fill foreign missions and i'm
portant government posts at home. Why

Turtles Big Enough to Rid O .

SmihvIlIe q. g. Letter to New York Times.
Monster green turtles, some weighing
as much as 1900 pounds each, frequent
the beach all the way down to Fort Cas-
well, four miles below the town. People
eat their eggs, but do not eat the turtles
When female turtle wishes to lay her
eggs she CraWIs up the sandy beach to
place that suits her fancy, digs with her
fippers big hole in the sand and then
laws in the role 200 or 500 eggs The
eggs are not dumped in pill, but laid
out smoothly and neatly in rows. When
she commences laying il makes no odds
to her how big 3 beach party stands
around experimenting the process.
She attends strictly TO business,
and even if the eggs are taken
from the mole as fas. as she laws them it
does not at all discourage or brighten her.
When she q, Is through she sCrApes the
sand baCkin+O the hole, whether the eggs
are there or not, and then starts back to
the water. That is the time for the beach
party 10 have fun with her. As many Of
them as can mount her big dOme-li6e
back do so and she carries them right
down to The waters edge, where they
Jump off, and she goes on. She does not
seem to mind their weight or show any
disposition to resent their gOOd-natured
familiarity. Sometimes they turn her
over on her back, but after she has help
lessly paved the air a little while they
right her again, and she waddles off.

1t is the Fort Worth way, to lead the
procession and ever score a point on the
town on the Trinity, thirty miles east of
this metropolis. 1t shows itself under all
circumstances, no matter what the eX-
igency. Here is the latest illustration,
and it is true as holy writ. It was at
the prohibition convention in Waco the
other day, and Fort Worth was represent
ed there, as she is in everything that is
legitimate and progressive. The brethren
were raising that campaign fund (Which,
by the way, they sweiIed to over So, 00O),
and the enthusiasm was red hot. Towns
were being called for, and the responses
were prompt and liberal. Fort Worth
had been among the first to chip in with
her contribution, and after a while some
body discovered Dallas wasn't chipping in
to any marked extent. A rather painful
silence would ensue when Dallas was
called until Fort Worth delegate arose
and said: "Fort Worth will stand for
Dallas for 500; put Dallas down for that
figure and We'll see it paid" The house
roared and Dallas was charged with the
SlOO To be just we will add that it Is
stated the Dallas delegates did not hap
pen to be in the room Just at the time the
calls were being made for their town, and
that they will cleerfully make good the
promise made for them by the Fort, but
the incident created q general laugh at
the expense of Dallas and was accepted
as another of the numerous illustrations
afforded of the spirit and style of the two
towns. 1t has ever been thus, since Fort
Worth became town, and we suppose it
will so continue until the end of time.

WOULU-BE VIGILANTES.
An Attempt TO Brighten the Jews Out of a
Louisiana Parish.

Louisiana Parish.
NEW ORLEANS, La, March 2I.-The
outrages against Je .isa merchants broke
out again last week, but are not meeting
with the same favor aud success as the
WitkOwski case Of last fail. Two of the
leading merchants of Avoyville and
Messrs. Kahn Of Evergreen and Cell
Bauer Of CottOUport, Gil Jews, were do
ing fue business. Business jealousy
coupled, probably, with sons Of mat anti
SemetiC feeling which so often shows
itself in the Turai districts, moved num-
Der Of wild young men to seek to drive
them from the parish. The 81 ti-SemetiCs
rode up to the Kahn store and riddled it
and the surrounding fence with bullets.
The next day Kahn and Bauer were served
with notices, calling attention TO what
the mob had done and warning them to
leave the parish at once if they wished TO
save their lives. The motive Of the rioters
was well shown by their proclamation
posted in q number of public places, de-
Claring that the people Of AyoyyilIe, aS
they styled themselves, wanted 10 more
Jews among them, and therefore advised
all Jews TO leave the parish by April,

that the trial Of the steam csr-heating sp-
paratus made yesterday on the train run

stfsted the feasibility of the scheme. The
trouble Of connecting the pipes between

gorge broke last night, and early this
morning the river began TO rise rapidly.
a gorge formed below the city and the
ice carried everything with it and struck
the immense warehouse Of the Northern
Pacific, one OF the largest in the world.
The workmen narrowly escaped drown
ing, and in less than two hours from the
time of the breaking Of the gorge the
water was in the second stories of river
boarding houses which had been built on
what was considered high ground. The
warehouse, nearly 700 feet IN length, was
moved bodily over thirty feet and sent

Professor Thompson claims that where
quick heating is required electricity may
be relied upon, and results are cited
where, in welding, broken iron bars may
be securely Joined with great rapidIty and
strength. In forging, the electric current
according to the reports given, will prove
of interest, and, when better understood,
will place this new principle IN every
workshop. Metal-WOrkers and iron
.mongers will prefer electric force to

1t will DE observed by the Intelligent
investigator that this territory Includes
counties which are a clear cut in
invasion of the territory supposed
to be held by towns popularity classed as
wholesale rivals OF Fort Worth. The Sc
Cret of this city's ability to hold the west
and to invade and compete for the trade
of the east will be readily OWNED by
practical business men-it lies in the fact
that Fort Worth is the great junction
point of trunk lines that gives this
city distributing facilities unequaled in
the state, for the railroads Of
Houston (Fort Worth's only rival
as railroad CENTER do not regch the
population served by the roads radia.ing
from Fort Worth.
All other things being equal, distri0ut-
ing facilities through trunk lines will win
pre-eminence; but in addition to this de-
cided advantage, no city in Texas has
merchants who have shown more pluck,
enterprise and IiberaIty than those of
Fort Worth, and none are better prepared
TO handle the trade that is brought to
their doors and which daily increases.
